The evils are making food go rotten fast

The evils are making food go rotten fastIt’s clear that the evils are making food go rotten fast. How, I’m not sure yet.

BUT, that’s not all that’s happening. They have no staff in the grocery stores, they don’t hire replacement staff when someone is sick, goes on vacation, etc., and the trucks aren’t arriving with food probably because of the tariffs and something to do with trucking. My comments are at the end.

With many of the comments below, you can see that people can’t write proper English AT ALL.


    1. I don’t know if this is just me or specific to my area, but I have thrown out more food from being spoiled in the last 6 months than I think I have in my entire life.Everything has been well before the “sell by” or expiration date. I’m talking meat that has a week or more left before it expires and yet it smells rancid. I bought butter that isn’t supposed to expire for a year or more and it tasted sour and smelled gross. Also, I have had to become more diligent about checking expiration dates because places are leaving expired foods on the shelves. But again, I’m having more frequent experiences with non-expired food being rancid well before the expiration date.I have switched grocery stores 3 or 4 times but this issue keeps happening and I am having to pitch food each week that according to the label, should still be fresh.Anyone else?
    2. Produce for me. Everything rotting before ripe or looks okay on the outside and boom, rotten inside.
    3. I bought broccoli that looked perfect, got home, washed it to get ready to chop and steam it— the whole thing smelled of mold and bleach. So even the perfect looking produce is being propped up by chemical baths
    4. Same. This used to happen once every so often, but lately it seems like at least one produce item of every grocery trip is already spoiled somewhere I couldn’t see in-store.
    5. Even my lemons and limes don’t last anymore. We have to move early this year and once we do I’m buying my own citrus trees.
    6. Where I’m located the frozen veggies are decimated, never in stock. For me it’s usually onions, garlic, and peppers, along with fruit that’s rotting the fastest.
    7. I’ve noticed this with broccoli the most 🙁
    8. Avocados. Looked great. Every one rotten inside was gonna buy blueberries. Container filled with fruit flies!
    9. Bananas are the worst. Within 3 days they’ll go from green to rotten.
    10. Bananas taste like garbage in my area. Been this way for months.
    11. I went to Walmart yesterday. There was mold on almost all of the bagels and English muffins on display.
    12. I’m a produce manager. It’s the rolling back of regulations, and cutting back of federal inspections by the federal government. It’s placed a lot of responsibility on grocery stores to inspect product for quality.But that makes that forces them to either: A. Cut back variety to be able to focus on inspecting product more. B. Raise prices to subsidize the cost of product that’s getting thrown away that that’s slipping through the cracks that they otherwise wouldn’t have purchased. C. All of the above. D. Or grin and bear it and just sell crappier produce.
    13. Nah, grocery store departments order based on sales multiple times a week, especially fresh departments. It’s the quality of food coming from distributors that’s dropped. Same thing going on in the restaurant industry, quality of incoming food dropped after covid and never got better.
    14. I have noticed a lot of restaurant food tastes worse lately too now that you mention it
    15. I think it’s more than that. I’ve been seeing staples just not been stocked regularly. The last time I’ve seen it like this was during Covid.
    16. I go into Walmart for a pound or two of ground beef for a meal I planned a few days away, all of them have the expiration date of the day I’m in there or maybe the next day if I’m lucky. I just risk it at this point.
    17. I’ve noticed it here in Norway, not as bad as in the US from what the comments are saying, but bad enough that I will return onions, avocados etc to the store. I never cared in the past, it was so rare that it didn’t matter.It’s almost like they stopped filtering by quality and hope the consumers won’t return the trash.
    18. It’s milk for me, from both walmart and other stores. Say it expires by the 15th, by 9th or 12th, it has some weird separation and by the 14th or 15th, it already smells. Growing up, I would regularly drink milk a few days after the date and it was always fine, now, it doesnt even make it to the date.
    19. This happened with some milk in our fridge.Right now, we only opened it about five days ago.And it already looks bad
    20. Milk here too, supposedly good till the 19th, already started turning bad.
    21. My husband is a milk fiend and has been saying this for a couple years now. He won’t even get milk from certain brands/stores anymore. I’ve been teasing him about it because I always think milk smells gross, but you are definitely onto something here!
    22. I don’t think it’s the grocery store it’s the transportation line. The administration decided to have over 17,000 commercial drivers in CA alone. Since they tried pushing that I’ve drivers try to avoid regulations but pulling stupid dangerous moves on the freeway (because the trucks have monitors.) Now you’ll have a truck running with questionable refrigerant practice to make the deadline by the broker.
    23. They removed 17k of commerical drivers licenses. They didn’t remove half. USPS released new guidelines that commercial drivers must have domestic USA citizenship. That will be interesting. Maybe the best word would be “administration decided to remove 17k of commercial drivers in California.”
    24. I work in grocery. The corporations are cutting back to literally the bare minimum. If I have seen product sitting on the dock for 2 hours at the store, then who the hell knows what happened before, and it’s refrigerated product. I say something and it doesn’t matter. Not enough staff to pull out of dates, or they don’t care or just can’t cause they are beyond stressed & pushed to get truck done. No coverage for employees taking days off, vacation or sick time. We are being asked to come in when we are truly sick. CUSTOMERS need to complain to managers & corporate! I care, but it’s waning. A person can only be stretched so far, and when you deal with the public, you get a lot crappy people that expect to be catered to, and then the good ones, who make it all worth while. But the margin is getting thinner. Know where you go, keep your eyes open, and if you see the same employees over and over, thank and appreciate them, it does matter.
    25. This has always been the case ordering groceries from places like Amazon for me since they started doing it. Also, if I order pickup from Walmart, they will give me rotting produce almost every time.Kroger near me at least discounts the food that is about to go bad but sometimes I’ll get a new bag of apples and half of them are mealy already when I start to use them immediately upon getting home (I make my own green juice every day).Ofc it depends on when you get the produce, both time of day and week, but since covid, the overall quality has definitely nosedived.
    26. I also noticed Costco eggs are half their previous size. Creative shrinkflation.
    27. In case anyone isn’t digging deep enough, the health inspector engaging in this thread has informed us that the food industry doesn’t believe this is happening because “the data isn’t there”.I’m sure most of you are like me, you throw out your rotting food and move on with your life, frustrated that more of your money has been wasted by a flawed system. Their advice is to call the local health department.I repeat, CALL YOUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS. I cant speak to how effective this will be, but it’ll be much more difficult for the industry to deny there’s a problem when complaints are actually being received.
    28. If you get your food from costco, this is a definite truth
    29. Totally. Noticed their fruits/vegetables go bad quickly.
    30. I had 2 lbs of sausage from a local grocery store 3 weeks from date on wrap smelled rotten…
    31. Yes it’s been awful! Produce going bad immediately, expired cheeses and aisle items! So frustrating
    32. Yes! I threw away 3lbs of ground beef last week because once opened, was clearly rancid. Despite looking fine and having a week left on the date. It had only been in my fridge for 2 days.
    33. We can’t buy fresh food or milk from the grocery store closest to my house. It all goes bad within a day or 2
    34. Yes. Lettuce and salad mixes especially. They start rotting in like 2 days.
    35. Have noticed this with beef recently.Smells rancid a couple days after buying before the Best Buy date
    36. My husband works in a grocery store. Part of the reason is, and this has been happening for years, these corporations want as little headcount in the stores as possible so pulling outdated products is one of the many things that fall by the wayside because there is just not enough help. Those CEOs really need their bonuses! It’s not the only thing but my husband has worked for a large chain drug store as well for many years and headcount in the stores was a problem with that company as well.
    37. Yup, for us it was milk which makes me think places are trimming the expiration dates earlier. It always goes back well before the expiration date. Some produce as well it seems. Bought some sweet peppers that went to mush very quickly….now I just try to use it faster and I make much more frequent trips to the store.
    38. Yes. Dried out vegetables. Moldy berries. Occasionally grossly out of date products and even within date products that taste like they were not stored properly. But I buy meat that has to be sold by the next day at a huge discount and freeze it. Never has been a problem.
    39. I’ve pointed this out to my wife a ton over the last few years It started around COVID and has become far more prevalent the last two years or so I’ve given up on good onions ever being a thing that I don’t grow myself at this point Produce is entirely hit or miss now a days
    40. Fl Here – Absolutely! Check everything! Walmart sold me some weird leaking onions. Went to exchange them, and the others were all moldy.
    41. Yes actually I was so mad last week I bought a bag of tangerines and I couldn’t see the quality due to the packaging. They were all spoiled. I really wanted those tangerines.
    42. Publix – I had exploding milk 10 days before the sell by date… never opened until it exploded. Next half gallon of milk luckily just bubbled up and Oozed out of the jug 9 days before the sell by date. strawberries from two different growers 4 days apart perfect looking from the ouside solid green fuzz in between the berries.
    43. Any produce, milk, or meats I’ve been noticing go bad extremely quick. I was spending $1200 every 2 weeks on groceries and all the milk, meat, and produce were rotting within days. We had to switch to frozen produce and get a quarter cow at a time just to have fresh meat and veggies. I figured it was probably due to the ice raids on workers
    44. This is due to the trucking recession brought on by the T admin’s tariffs, stagnant wages, and low customer demand (bc of people losing jobs). High interest rates have stopped those independent trucking companies from borrowing, and that inflation is due to tariffs.Some general complaints about food: our local markets have 1/3 empty shelves in some areas, and are stocking goods double-wide so you don’t notice there are only 3 of each item whereas before they had the items going to the back of the storage rack. They want you to think they have full shelves, but look behind the goods at the front. Beef for US$35/pound means that they don’t have to sell many steaks to make their profit margin. Chocolate prices are up to $2/pound (double 6 months ago).Edit: I’d also like to add that this is due to the US deporting immigrant farm workers, even those who were born in the US. When ICE comes to town, businesses and schools shut down, even if they employ no immigrants, because all the support services are through immigrants.
    45. And the meat section only seems to be good for 1-3 days without the reduction stickers
    46. We haven’t received any actual spoiled food from our grocery deliveries (the shoppers do a pretty good job of picking things), but most “fresh” produce from supermarkets seems to have a shorter fridge life than it did prior to the pandemic. We’ve been getting most of our produce from a local farm stand and Asian groceries, where this doesn’t seem to be an issue. We’re also getting most of our meat from farms and coops that deliver it frozen.

      Michelle – this proves it’s not the trucker although farmers truck in to the farmers markets I assume, so maybe.

    47. Produce and milk go bad so fast now. I often see rotten food on the shelves in my town.
    48. For the last year, entire heads of garlic turn to dust within days.
    49. Yep. Opened cheese tonight, new container. Moldy. Expiration still not for two weeks
    50. Yes, and it’s a result of a few things coming together. The first is that stores are just far more willing to put product on the shelf they would have been embarrassed to have done 10 years ago. Yesterday I was in the store and looking at canned enchilada sauce and every can on the shelf wasn’t dented, it was CRUSHED. Like someone had taken a sledgehammer to the box.The second reason is skeleton stocking crews. The expiration date only applies if food is properly refrigerated and now since stores are cutting as many jobs as possible, food gets trucked in, unloaded, and then sits on the dock in the heat for hours and hours before they can put it away. Go check out some of the Dollar General horror videos and you’ll see pallets of milk sitting in aisles for hours and then stocked and refrigerated.I tend to get to Walmart like right as they open and I’m starting to find perishable food just sitting in the aisle waiting to get loaded into the fridges. Last time I went I wanted to buy a roast and you could tell all of it was spoiled and the packages were warm to the touch as I was looking at them.
    51. The worst is that stores are careless rotating stock and leaving expired dairy goods in the case. I have found yogurt that was a month past its expiration date still on the shelf. You have to check dates on everything.
    52. Bread and fruit rotten really fast for me. They didn’t mold so fast last year. I noticed that also. I even saw mold on the produce in the store. Grapes and mushrooms. I bought avocados and when I opened them up the next day, rotten. It’s mostly when I shop at Vons. Grocery Outlet and Smart and Final have been okay for me so far.
    53. Yeah I thought it was just me but my local grocery store has been having issues with produce, went to buy green peppers and there was only one and it was mush. Went down the street to another one and they were completely out of stock.
    54. Yes. Oh my god. All of my bread goes moldly literally the day after I buy it. I’ve been eating a lot of canned food lately.
    55. I just did a post on r/mildyinfuriating on this. I assumed places did proper inventory management. But I bought a yogurt on Jan. 4th for it only to expire on Jan. 5th. I opened it on the 8th for it to already be gross, and did not want to eat it.ETA: I’ve been buying more frozen vegetables and canned goods as they last longer. Another item for the r/mildyinfuriating
    56. I was in Sprouts 2 days ago and the Bread and Dairy sections were wiped out!I asked the guy working at the checkout what’s going on and he said, “the truck didn’t come today”.

My Comments

  1. Are they really saying that only non Americans drive trucks?
  2. The tariffs couldn’t stop truckers from driving UNLESS they are referring to them driving into Mexico and Canada to bring items over to the US and now that’s no longer happening.
  3. At the VERY beginning, I told everyone that the tariffs are very dangerous. I got even more evidence because 95% of all video channels didn’t report on it which is further proof that they are CO. NO ONE WAS talking about the tariffs unless it was to applaud it. WOW. And I didn’t know the 2-3 channels that did talk about it. They weren’t real Truthers or even awake for that matter.
  4. The fact that grocery stores don’t hire replacement staff and is laying off people is PROOF the evils own them all.
  5. Last week I spent 10 pesos more per kilo for cherries and the cherries in POS Mexico is MORE expensive than in the US, at least last year. The cherries went bad very quickly and it all tasted like CHEMICALS. I had to throw out at least 50%. Last year and even a month ago from another vendor they were fine.
  6. From this evil Reddit. Link.
  7. 02-17-26 – Two weeks ago I got a navel orange. When I finally went to eat it, it was FROM THE US. Did the US always import into POS Mexico? I thought it was always the other way around.It was on the dry side, but that doesn’t prove anything. Not as sweet, but again, doesn’t prove much.

The only way to win this war is with US TOGETHER NOT SEPARATELY!

People can shirk their responsibility in all of this which is just cowardice, but every day you can always choose to REALLY wake UP and fight with a Warrior like me or someone else to Help Save Yourself, Humanity, and our Mother Earth. ACTION!

Truth, Spirituality (nothing to do with the psyop known a religion), shedding your childhood trauma, becoming a mature adult, and then taking responsibility for yourself HAS to be done.

I know it’s hard because the evils control us, but it HAS to be done. If we all start to do it, this war WILL BE OVER. We have the POWER to stop them, but you have to play your part.

The key is learning who you are with everything else stripped away. Truly look in the mirror.

Learn how to love and respect yourself and then help others. If we all help one another, that’s sharing the workload.

Build alternative communities based on FREEDOM and Truth. Do it together outside of the evils’ mafia governments. It’s the ONLY way.

https://ourfreesociety.com/community

It’s our negative energy they feed off of. So long as we aren’t United and Strong, they can control us. We need to be United and Strong and FIGHT BACK by taking ACTION, NOT just accept what is going on. This is NOT a movie!!!

Both parts have to be done AND people have to STOP WORSHIPING MONEY.

The evils use money as a WEAPON. Money shouldn’t be used to judge others by their WORTH. Anyone who thinks this way is controlled by the evils and is harming Humanity. Yes we need it in THEIR system, so that’s why you need to break FREE from their evil MATRIX.

This war can ONLY BE WON BY US, not some deity or Human. That’s where the psyop religion comes in – SALVATIONISM.

They want you to NEVER grow up and fight them. They want you waiting for someone or something ELSE to save you so they have free reign to kill us while you wait, wait again, wait some more until YOU ARE DEAD.

Here’s my alternative therapy page. I hope you read and bookmark it. https://ourfreesociety.com/alternative-therapy-courses/

There’s NO SHAME in admitting you have issues. WE ALL DO.

It’s when you don’t care and don’t work to rid yourself of them (this doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a work in progress) that I have a problem with that because you refusing to not do the work affects ALL of us, not just YOU.

With tough Love
